House plans from 1,500 to 1,600 sq ft

Browse 28 ranch, duplex, and multi-story designs in this size range

House plans from 1,500 to 1,600 sq ft provide a comfortable middle ground — enough space for 3 bedrooms and a well-proportioned living area, without the higher build costs that come with larger homes.

Layout Overview

At this size, most plans include 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area as the heart of the home. Master suites are typically separated from secondary bedrooms and include a walk-in closet and private bathroom. Kitchens in this range often feature a center island, pantry storage, and direct access to a covered patio or deck.

A Good Fit For

This size is one of the most popular for owner-occupied builds. It works for families with children, couples who want a guest room and home office, and retirees who want single-story living with enough room to host visitors. The plans are also practical for semi-rural and suburban lots where building too large would be unnecessary.

Common Plan Features

  • 3 bedrooms with split or grouped layouts
  • 2 full bathrooms including master en-suite
  • Open kitchen with island and pantry
  • Attached two-car garage
  • Covered rear patio or screened porch
  • Laundry room adjacent to bedrooms
